Verdict

AL SHAHIR (NAP) travelled strongly on his hurdling debut at Newton Abbot but didn't quite have the pace of the winner. The third won at Taunton on Wednesday to frank the form and Dan Skelton's charge can go one better today. Eskendash was unlucky not to win a bumper last season and landed an all-weather maiden in March so should make a hurdler. Kalashnikov won a bumper here in March while Jacbequick and Big Time Dancer are potentially-useful recruits from the Flat. There are also possibilities about Ballymoy while Alfiboy led until falling here last month, though the form of that race hasn't worked out.
